Index 1 Chapter 1 Introduction The TRF - 7150 digital receiver is fully compliant with the international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and thus is able to receive digital broadcasts of that standard. For its operation you need an antenna, which must be installed appropriately. NOTE In general we equate a channel with a frequency. However, unlike analogue broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not all assigned to their own frequencies; instead, multiple television broadcasts are transmitted through a single frequency. The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called transponder. To reduce confusion in this manual, the word service is preferably used than channel as a term to indicate one television or radio broadcast. 1.1 Features The TRF - 7150 digital receiver has the following features: 2 Introduction · Can store up to 2000 television and radio services. · Can create favourite lists of your favourite services. · Can view information about the current television or radio programme. · Has an electronic programme guide that provides an overview of scheduled programmes. · You can record one service while you are currently watching another. · You can record many programmes using a hard disk drive with large storage capacity. · Time shift is a special technical feature available on the TRF - 7150. You can pause a programme you are watching and resume it again at a later time. Then you can quickly go to any part of the current programme by fast forward or rewind search. 1.2 Controlling the digital receiver You can operate the digital receiver with the remote control or the buttons on the front panel. NOTE When the digital receiver is off but plugged into a wall outlet, we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand, when it is on, it is in operation mode. Even when you are not using the digital receiver, you should keep it plugged into a wall outlet to be in standby mode so that it can run timer events at any time. 1.2 Controlling the digital receiver 3 1.2.1 The front panel The front panel of the digital receiver has buttons to control the digital receiver, specific lamps and a display to indicate its status.
